My first major purchase will be....wait for it.......A HOUSE, lol. I know some of you are like "WTH" lol. I am going to work my ass off that first year or so for a down payment. What are you losers *ahem*, I mean gentlemen going to buy?

Nursing school is difficult due to the volume of information, not because of its content, in my experience. If you have made it this far you can go all the way. Don't listen to those that complain and are negative, that is their experience and the ...

I just read a book called "The Pact" and it was about three black males from the inner city whose environment was riddled with crime, violence and drugs. Despite the harsh streets they made a pact to get through high school go to college and all bec...

Well thought. I do agree with some of your points. I guess I have to agree to disagree with you on some of them but I see where you are coming from. And I even more appreciate it that you wrote to me without an air of condescension.

Do they not do their rotations??? That in tandem with classroom information provides them with a bases to practice. I am tired of hearing how little clinical experience NPs have, especially in comparison to PAs. If one was to think critically they...

Nice try, but you're not funny nor was your statement analogous. "Howsabout" you bring the condescension to a halt and then we can have an intelligent conversation, or at least to the extent that you can.

What we have here is a conflict of the new state of nurses versus what nursing was in the past. I will admit, much of what many older nurses hold on to is antiquated. Nursing is moving in another direction and that is not a bad thing. I get that t...

As others have stated I would suggest trying to get into an accelerated nursing program. It usually is about a year to complete, and it seems like you have most of the prereqs, and if you don't but have them all completed you still can be accepted a...

Someone must always come in a thread and belittle another, it goes without fail. Sadly, the original poster did not use spell check but you also did not check your attitude at the door. You are dismissed!

Whoops, check comment below!

First of all, it bothers me when people underestimate the standard of education taught at community colleges. In no way are they learning a dilute form of information or anything substandard when it comes to their nursing education. It generally ta...

Hey. First of all congratulations on being a new student. We need more men in this profession. Also, I commend you on being open with your sexuality. Believe it or not, we need people from all walks of life as it only enhances the working environm...

Nursing school is a very singular experience. I wouldn't compare it to medical school one bit. Each program requires a certain kind of intelligence. Am I intellectually or socially inferior to someone that chose the MD route? Of course not. Nurs...

Good luck man. Keep us posted!

Nice dreams guys! I definitely am going to move myself and my family out of the inner city. Buy a new car. Donate to various charities and church. Keep my wardrobe updated (gotta keep my swag tight! lol)

"The inevitable question", haha. I think it is largely due to the obvious fact that nursing is predominantly a female occupied industry. Many people can not wrap their heads around men beings nurses. The nurse/doctor dichotomy in many people's min...

Congratulations!!!! You deserve it. You worked hard and persevered. Nursing school is no cakewalk. I hope you find a job soon and are able to provide yourself a wonderful lifestyle. God has blessed you!!

First off, for all of you jumping down the OP's throat, she was in no way intending to censor the people that come on here and use this site as a vehicle to vent their frustrations. If anything, the OP is trying to gain information as to why the num...

First of all, I am disappointed in the reactions that people have given in response to your question. If it was such a 'dumb' question then why dignify it with an answer. Obviously it was worth your while to answer, so if you are going to do so may...

Your instructor doesn't seem to be doing much to foster growth. The whole "walking on water" comment through me off, it sounds quite rude. If I were you I would attempt to make some sort of appeal. If you would like I can definitely pray for you. ...

You can do it!!! I was in the same situation my first semester of nursing school. I was on a Med Surg floor and I just could not keep up with the speed. I felt inferior to my peers that were passing out their meds on time, charting with ease, engag...

I'm so sorry to hear about your condition. I pray that God is with you and allows you to cope with this in a healthy way. Please do not give up your dreams, they might be the things that keep you going. You still have a lot of living to do so make...

I would vote yes:D

Congrats. You should be proud of this accomplishment, but at the same time taking time out to thank God for the blessings that are in store. I got accepted into an accelerated program a few months back and start my classes in a few weeks, I am nerv...

CONGRATS spartan03. I can't wait to see you in the Fall!! Only one month left
